Spectacular, from another MT fan.
Not to quibble but I read somewhere that you had to stop four feet from a passenger train and then back up to couple, which is what I do on my layout....

Very nice and Quisling is coming along quite nicely as well.

Beautiful!
Sure wish we could get an MT in N scale!

Those Athearn Mountains don't look too bad !

There are a lot of little things that unless you've been involved in "real" railroading that you could do modeling if you wanted.   Short or no whistle signals for backing up, stopping short of the joint, stretching 'em after the joint.  Pumping the trainlne back up and little things.
Great video, and great modeling.  Engine runs nicely too.  I wonder why sound never comes across on the video as well as it sounds in person?
Keep up that great modeling sir, you're doing fine.
